Tektronix delivers wireless communications analyzers for 2.5/3G
January 28, 2003
Tektronix, an innovator of test, measurement and monitoring tools
for wireless designers and manufacturers, announced its new wireless
communications analyzers that combine vector signal analysis and
spectrum analysis in one instrument to improve engineers' view and
enable next-generation (2.5G and 3G) wireless design and manufacturing.
As next-generation networks begin to roll out, mobile devices must
be available to ensure end-user adoption and revenue realization.
As a result, RF engineers working on 2.5G and 3G designs are pressured
more than ever to get devices to market in order to meet financial
and subscriber expectations. The design challenge of integrating
more complex 2.5G and 3G components into small mobile devices presents
a demand for flexible, affordable test tools that provide fast,
accurate measurements. To answer this need, Tektronix' new Wireless
Communications Analyzer 200A Series (WCA200A Series) unite one-button
measurements, versatile troubleshooting capabilities and spectrum
analysis in one instrument, a combination not found today in similar
analyzers within the same price/performance category.
"Wireless designers and manufacturers are looking to test and measurement
vendors to provide faster, more affordable and more accurate design
tools to meet increasing pressure to deliver 2.5G and 3G devices,"
said Mark Kulper, General Manager, Wireless Product Line, Tektronix.
"Tektronix' new WCA200A Series exceeds engineers' expectations by
delivering superior versatility and troubleshooting capabilities,
such as multi-domain analysis and frequency mask trigger in one-box,
at an affordable price."
Tektronix' new WCA200A Series exceeds engineers' characterization
and troubleshooting expectations with measurements capabilities
not typically found in this class of analyzer. Features such as
simultaneous multi-domain analysis, frequency mask trigger, unmatched
memory capture (up to 10 seconds of WCDMA signals), and unsurpassed
Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (ACLR) measurement speeds put the
WCA200A Series at the top of its class, enabling RF engineers to
meet critical deadlines. These versatile features are in addition
to the standard one-button measurements found in existing vector
signal analyzers. Moreover, the advanced analysis and triggering
capabilities allow developers to improve their view by capturing
random spurious signals and analyzing them in frequency, time and
modulation domains without having to make multiple measurements.
